1 Introduction1.1 About the manualThis is the manual of the program <strong>Menyanthes</strong>. In this manual, the various functions of<strong>Menyanthes</strong> are discussed. <strong>Menyanthes</strong> is a program for time series data management,visualization, statistical analysis, and time series analysis with the PIRFICT model.Only topics directly related to the use of <strong>Menyanthes</strong> are described.
